I'm thinking either my macro sucks or I knocked my camera out of calibration

Ronin, love the ambush bug!
Celestial, good looking buds "bud". The 3rd photo looks like the camera moved a little, do you use a tripod?

lNo, I didn't use a tripod. It's all the same picture though..Just cropped out... Some spots show up fine... some of them smudged. It doesn' want to pick up the whole scaping

When you do extreme macro your depth of field is very shallow, like 1/4 to 1/2 inch so anything closer or further way then that from your focus point will be out of focus by some amount and any movement makes things even worse. I m not a great macro photographer but fine using a tripod an then using the camera timer to operate the shutter instead of touching the camera helps me a lot. Keep at it!
